    Default Donated my Spyder for a day

    Last Sunday I donated my Spyder for a day for a US marine who lost both legs in Afghanistan last year serving our country. The ride was in Coventry R.I. and was a huge success. There were 350 bikes (3 spyders) and 500 people supporting Kevin Dubois. Veterans for Veterans ran the event and did an excellent job. Just one more thing we as Spyder owners can do to support others.

    I just saw this post. Your pictures brought tears to my eyes for this young man. This was a really great thing you did for him & I'm glad to hear a Spyder is on his list to do when he's healed up. Thanks for sharing.
